The Tourist Trail - Running Tour

Starting in the elegant Georgian architecture of Edinburgh's New Town, we will weave our way to the top of Calton Hill for breathtaking panoramic views of the city.

Descending towards the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the official Scottish residence of the monarch, we will pass by the striking architecture of the Scottish Parliament and continue through the wild beauty of Holyrood Park. From there, we will tackle the iconic Royal Mile, lined with historic buildings that capture the very essence of the city's Old Town.

Venturing through Greyfriars Kirkyark, be prepared to discover tales of loyalty and legend, before winding into the vibrant Grassmarket where every pub has a unique story to tell. We will then ascend to the towering Edinburgh Castle, perched above the city - our city's most visited tourist attraction. Our journey concludes by taking in the serenity of Princes Street Gardens, nestled beneath the Castle, before looping back through the New Town to conclude the tour.

The Tourist Trail (approximately 4.5 miles) is crafted to suit any schedule, ordering a brisk, invigorating way to familiarise yourself with the city in around an hour. Perfect for anyone visiting the city for the first time, or for those looking to squeeze in a run between business meetings.

Tailored to accommodate all fitness levels, from the seasoned marathon runner to the casual weekend jogger, our tours ensure that no runner is left behind!
